Mlle. Chabot, Paris, from the Actors and Actresses series (N171) for Old Judge Cigarettes 1886 - 1890

This carte de visite photograph by Goodwin & Company, depicts the French ballerina Mlle. Chabot in a classic ballet pose. The image was likely produced as a collectible trading card promoting Old Judge Cigarettes. The photograph captures Mlle. Chabot in a delicate pose, emphasizing her graceful movements and the flowing lines of her white tutu. The photograph's small size (2 11/16 x 1 3/8 in) and its subject matter are characteristic of 19th-century trade cards, which were widely used in advertising and marketing campaigns.
